Chapter 635 Interview with Time Magazine (Part 2)

"What do you mean?" asked Catherine.

"Uh... I mean, what do you think is different between our future and the world of "Soul Reaction"?" [bsp; "Maybe the world I described is a little too beautiful." Catherine said.

said.

But when the reporter over there heard this sentence, he was stunned for three seconds.

"Our real time is millions of times more complicated than in novels - no work in the past, and no work in the future, can completely depict reality. Hugo can't do it, and neither can Balzac. Everyone just depicts it.

It’s just something that I know. But I can guarantee that with the development of the Internet, people will feel their ignorance more and more. People in the era of information explosion will have a short period of time when facing the Internet.

period of confusion.”

In the first half of the sentence, Catherine felt that she had gone too far, so she hurriedly changed the main content of the conversation in the second half.

(Hey, but with the Internet developing so well, there is no need for things like USB disks to exist anymore, right?) Catherine suddenly had such an idea in her mind, and with it, her original excitement

, at this time, everyone became a little hesitant.

Catherine was in such a good mood, not just for the interview. Before the interview, Catherine received a piece of news that made her extremely excited.

"Do you remember that our specialized training class at Intel once accepted a student from Japan?" Elsa asked Catherine at that time.

"Well... his name is..." Catherine couldn't think of that person's name at first, but her mind quickly started to spin, and she recalled the deep-hidden memory: "It's... Fujio Sugaoka, right?"

"Yes, that's the name. Kate, you have such a good memory." Elsa said with a smile: "The Japanese worked in Xunlei Laboratory after graduation. He recently developed a product. He said this

It can replace the hard drive. People from Xunlei Lab brought this thing here early this morning."

"oh?"

Elsa handed a chip and a report to Catherine, and Catherine immediately became excited after seeing the instructions.

——This is flash memory! Flash memory!

prom programmable read-only memory was invented in 1956 by Zhou Wenjun, who worked at the American Paul Shu Emma Company in Gatton City, New York. This invention was proposed by the U.S. Air Force to improve computers used by the Air Force.

and atlase

Flexibility and security of f-band missiles.

As for the Chinese-American Zhou Wenjun, he received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1940 and a master's degree in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1942. He is a Chinese-born American missile guidance scientist and a pioneer in digital computer technology.

Eprom is a new product that eliminates the shortcomings of prom that can only read and write... this product is the technology currently used by Catherine Company - except that this technology uses ultraviolet light to modify when writing.

Yes, so it’s very troublesome.

As for the technology used in flash memory, it is electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM).

This technology Catherine only exists in Thunder Labs.

Moreover, the cost of eeprom is also very high.

Historically, it is because the cost of flash memory is much lower than that of eeprom, which can be written in bytes, that it has become the most important and widely adopted technology for non-volatile solid-state storage. Such as tablets, laptops, MP3, digital Flash memory can be seen in cameras and mobile phones. In addition, the use of flash memory in game consoles is also increasing day by day, replacing eeprom or SRAM with batteries for storing game data.

A single erase of early flash memory will clear the entire data on the chip.

This is the current particle size of only 1kb.

But the most difficult step: to create something from scratch; now that step has been achieved, how can Catherine be unhappy.

But when her thoughts reached this point, Catherine discovered that the biggest threat to flash memory seemed to be the current cloud system, right?

"You started writing novels, making movies, and then made Apple TV, Xiaobawang game console and now xbox and nim

us, personal computers, etc., which category do you think you are most proud of?"

"I can only say that these are my favorites." Catherine was unwilling to answer this question. If she answered the electronic industry, her fans would definitely be unhappy. If she answered that it was novels or movies, then Users who use their own game consoles will definitely feel that they are not very sincere...

"I understand that in the early days of your career, a lot of your profits were generated by shooting movies... By the way, for example, films like "Wasteland", you were only a teenager at the time, right? Why? What would you think of making a film like this?”

The other party asked.

"What I was thinking about at the time was just to describe a world like this. People were struggling to survive in such a world... I just wanted to explore human nature."

——Catherine is lying, she has never thought about it this way...

"As far as I know, the investment in your films is very huge. Is this really necessary?"

"When I make videos, I just express my thoughts and ideas and describe a world. For this, I think it would be quite convenient to pay a little more."

Catherine doesn't care about the cost of filming the film, which means that in many of the special effects and graphics of the film, Catherine can beat Hollywood films of the same period in seconds.

"Making videos is a hobby of mine, and I don't run my business as a prestige."

Catherine told the other party.

"Then let's continue talking about your views on the Internet. What do you think the definition of the Internet product should be?"

"First of all, let me correct you. The Internet is not a 'product', but an 'industry'. What the Internet can promote should be the entire industrial chain, not just some simple things."

“Is the value of the Internet very high?”

"If this were not the case, why would you, Time Magazine, come to me?"

At this point, both parties laughed.

Indeed, if Time Magazine had not seen the undersea optical fiber, how could it have come to look for it?

At this time, Catherine added: "The Internet is actually the result of connecting two computers or more than two computer terminals, clients, and servers through computer information technology. People can communicate with each other thousands of miles away.

Friends send emails to each other, complete a task together, and have fun together. The most widely used technology we currently use is just the cloud system."

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"Our next work is naturally to expand the use of supercomputers. The cloud system relies on supercomputers to work, but except at night, the usual resource consumption of the cloud system is only about 10%. A lot of computing power is

It was wasted. In this regard, I had an inspiration, which is to sell the computing power of our supercomputers. This will undoubtedly enable us to use our system more efficiently." Catherine said.

"You said selling computing power...?"

"Yes, the cost of supercomputers is hundreds of millions, so not everyone can afford it. Similarly, there are many people who need to use supercomputers. Among these people, if they want to use our supercomputers,

It's obviously impossible."

The reporter nodded.

"But now, we have a new way to get the best of both worlds, which is to sell computing power. Through the Internet, users can connect their computers to the cloud system, then input data into the computer, and then the supercomputer in the cloud

It can perform calculations and solutions based on these data, and then feed the results back to the user. This is the power of our cloud system and cloud."

"It sounds really magical. Can you explain to me specifically what a cloud system is?"

"The cloud system is a new generation of general computer system product that uses our cloud architecture to achieve the effect of cloud computing. The cloud computing operating system cloud-system is the overall management and operation system of the cloud computing backend data center. It refers to the architecture of servers, storage

, network and other basic hardware

Software resources and basic software such as stand-alone operating systems, middleware, databases, etc. manage a large amount of basic hardware and cloud platform comprehensive management systems on top of software resources. The user's own computer is just a receiving end, and everyone's information will pass through

The Internet is sent to the supercomputer on the other side of the cloud, and then the calculated results are returned to the other party through the supercomputer. This is the principle of the cloud system."

The reporter nodded. Although he had a tape recorder, he still recorded something in a paper notebook of his.

"In addition, because all the data is on the supercomputer, when using the cloud system, we can purchase games very conveniently and safely. Our IP phone can make online payments... In fact, for me personally

In other words, Internet payment methods are an opportunity for changes in global integration - through the Internet, we can browse stores around the world and buy whatever we want. Of course, the law must allow it."

"Internet payment?"

“This is a way to use the Internet to pay, which can greatly shorten the time people spend shopping. Moreover, what people need can be found on the Internet without leaving home, and then their products can be delivered by express delivery.

Got it..."

The two of them interviewed for nearly an hour, and finally at 12 o'clock, the interview ended. Of course, this was just the end of today's exclusive interview, and the entire interview process was not that simple.

"It's a pleasure to interview you, Miss Edson." The other party smiled at Catherine and then stood up.

"Me too." Catherine also stood up and shook hands with the other party.

The third update is completed, done!
